I start with not my head and it's all gravy after that.

Since it isn't precisely wise for me to show my face in a place like this (due to me being Hasidic) I make something that reflects who I am and what I believe.

I am me - I prefer avatars that reflect the honesty of who you are

I’ve had a few avatars and even my own pic on profile but I’ve opted for my current avatar as it kinda says a lot about me

I use an avatar made by a New Zeeland artist named Jessie. "Back in the day" she created digital Tarot cards of us who were in the admin team on a TOOL fan site, basing the cards on the members opinions of our personalities. The one I'm using is a picture of me that she created into the tarot card "The Sun".

Any avatar I use is in some form symbolic and I want to bring layered revelations along with it.

I really enjoy using photos of myself as DU avis, so if I happen to take a selfie I think is cute I change my avi to it. idk why, but I feel more connected to the site that way, more open and myself 😋

So basically I just choose something which brings me comfort and joy

The actual face is always better. There are many reasons to hide :-))))))
